The lid is done just like the opening of the top barrel with some small changes in the measurements. As you can see, I again outlined the area that I want to cut out with the duck tape. This makes it easier to cut a straight line.
	You want to make the lid just a little bigger then the opening in the top barrel. I made it 1/2 larger on all 4 sides. So just measure 19 inches around the barrel and then put the tape along these lines. For the sides put the tape on just like the barrel opening and make a mark on the tape 1/2 inch farther out.
	I had 3 old brass hinges sitting around so now they are part of the smoker any hinge will work. Just put the lid on the top barrel with the edges set with the 1/2 inch over-hang (you can drill and mount the hinges to the lid first) then mark and drill the holes.
